    Socio-religious rituals use many art forms such as those which can be seen in homes, painted on rural and urban walls, in geometric and floral designs on floors, and in decorations on the body. While elegant and popular fabrics unfold many time-honored narratives and motifs, a casual walk on the streets of India’s cities reveals popular pictorial vocabularies on pavements, storefronts, trucks, cars and billboards. The art of storytelling is also woven throughout the everyday as well as ritualistic. Join us for this fascinating slide/lecture presented by Professor Rao, who is an expert on her subject.
